The Washington Wizards struggles have been hard to overlook this season and in large part due to the extra eyes the team's busy offseason brought to the team's rebuilding process. Sitting at the bottom of the NBA standings, not much has changed for the Wizards looking back to last season. In fact, instead of taking a step forward, Washington looks like they've regressed up to this point of the season; at least in terms of the team as a whole.
If you recall, these Texans had the same 10-7 record in 2023. But that division title came in the wake of three straight 12-plus loss seasons before. At the beginning of this decade, the Texans were an Evangelical clown show with a procession of disposable head coaches and a piece of sexual malware at quarterback. Then suddenly-HEY PRESTO!-2023 brought them an instant franchise QB, an instant franchise edge rusher, and a head coach everyone both loved and respected.
